Why do we as humans love worldly, material items? Why do we crave the things that we can't have?
I am often asking myself why must I have this or that... a shirt or a couch? Will these really make me happy? Will it be short term happiness? Or long term? I find it so funny how the millionaires are just spending their money left and right on such worldly possessions like cars and mansions. Why can't they be satisfied with a modest home? Why must they have 5 cars instead of 1 or 2? Why don't they give some of their wealth to charities or countries that need it more than they do?
If I've learned anything in the 23 years of my life, its that money does not buy you happiness and you certainly can not take it with you after this life! I intend to live my life not concentrating on what others have and what I don't have, but rather on what I do have. I have so much love & friendship from family & friends and that I can take with me!
Please share any thoughts you have! I'd love to hear them!

Just remember this post when you start thinking about how badly you need that $30,000 car ;)
Happiness comes from having low car payments... hehe
That is why I don't have a $30,000 car and I probably won't until we only have one car payment silly!
